On January 8^th, our State Veterinarian, Dr. Annette Jones, issued the following:

“Due to the continued spread of H5N1 Bird Flu in California, the State Veterinarian has implemented a ban on all California Poultry and Dairy Cattle Exhibitions at Fairs and Shows immediately until further notice. This action is required to minimize the danger of exposing people and non-infected cows and birds to the disease.”

In light of this development, the California Avian Bowl State Qualifier will be rescheduled.   Please regularly check this page for updates.    The good news, is all teams now have more time to study before the competition!

Please, please keep up your biosecurity.   You know what to do and what not to do.  Disease agents are always looking for an opportunity, don’t give them one.
